Fluvial riparian vegetation (RV) links fluvial and terrestrial ecosystems. It is under significant
pressure from anthropogenic activities, and, therefore, the management and restoration of …

Ecologists long have been aware that there is flux of energy and nutrients from riverine
systems to the surrounding terrestrial landscape and vice versa. Riparian ecotones are …

Aim A global meta‐analysis was used to elucidate a mechanistic understanding of
elevational species richness patterns of bats by examining both regional and local climatic …

Summary 1 Agricultural intensification is perceived to be a major cause of the decline in
many European bat populations. Because organic farming prohibits the use of …

Summary 1 Riparian zones serve several ecological functions for bats. They provide a
source of prey and likely provide favourable structural habitats and shelter from predators …

We determined habitat use by foraging bats by broad‐band acoustic surveys in 10 habitat
types from a Mediterranean area (southern Italy). We applied discriminant functions to …

Over the next century, climate change will dramatically alter natural resource management.
Specifically, historical reference conditions may no longer serve as benchmarks for …

Natural bodies of open water in desert landscapes, such as springs and ephemeral pools,
and the plant-life they support, are important resources for the survival of animals in hyper …

We actively sampled the bat community at 63 sites using detection and non-detection
metrics on the Fernow Experimental Forest (FEF) in the central Appalachians of West …

Abstract Knowledge and understanding of bat habitat associations and the responses of
bats to forest management are critical for effective bat conservation and management. Few …
